The Metrocrest Chamber has shared the following remembrances: Milburn served the City of Carrollton in many capacities including mayor for six terms in 1986 - 1994 and 1996-2000. He was a member of the chamber since 1968 and was a current member of the Board of Directors. Milburn was awarded the Metrocrest Chamber Citizen of the Year in 1989. He served on the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council, but he also served on the boards of directors of the Metrocrest Hospital Authority, Old Downtown Carrollton Association, Valwood Improvement Authority, and was past president of the Carrollton Farmers Branch Rotary Club. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested donations to the Scottish Rite Hospital of Dallas or the Youth Ministry Fund at First Baptist Church of Carrollton.
